A quick chat between me and Coach Ilia about Ali’s Emergence journey.

One of the things that matters to us is that we actually know our clients.

We know what they’re working towards, where they’re struggling, what’s going on in their lives and when they need a bit more support.

Emergence isn’t something we hand you and leave you to get on with.

We go through it with you.

Ali got a fantastic result, and it was brilliant to watch that journey unfold.

Ali’s Emergence Story: Part Two.

This time, Ali talks about backing yourself, the difference the right support can make, and what it means to take charge of your health when you’re over 50.

Here she is, explaining it in her own words.

If you’ve not seen Ali’s results then check out the last post.

Watch the video to hear about her experience on our Emergence Program, the challenges, the results and what the journey has meant to her, all in her own words.

Well done, Ali. You should be incredibly proud of what you’ve achieved.

Those who’ve trained with Ali know she brings more than just effort to a session.

She brings a full running commentary too!

Ali came to us through our brilliant former member Mandy (hope SA move has been ok!), and right from the start I knew she was going to be fun to coach.

She already had a serious training background. Years of Orange Theory, swimming, triathlons and even Ironman training. She was athletic, knew how to work hard and jumped straight into everything we gave her.

But what really stands out about Ali is the energy she brings to the room.

If a class needs a lift, Ali will provide it. She encourages everyone around her and is particularly brilliant with new members who might be feeling nervous or unsure.

When Ali joined Emergence, she wanted to properly focus and see what she could achieve.

She was also worried that getting a result would mean eating ridiculously low calories or following something she could never sustain. I wanted to show her that it didn’t have to work like that.

Despite an incredibly busy professional, family and social life, Ali remained consistent. She even went away during the programme and came rushing back through the door after getting off a plane in the final week before the photoshoot.

Her results speak for themselves.

But perhaps the biggest win is that since Emergence finished, she has become even more consistent.

The photos look fantastic, but they only show part of what Ali achieved. She built something she can continue.

Well done, Ali.

I could hear the hesitation in their voices. They were interested in joining, but something was holding them back.

It would have been easy to push harder and try to get the sale. But when a couple are joining together, both people need to feel committed. Otherwise, you are starting on the wrong foot.

So the important question was not, “How do I convince them?”

It was, “What is sitting underneath that hesitation?”

Is it the money? The time? Worrying they will not stick to it? Or are they simply unsure whether Hounds is right for them?

In this video, I explain what I heard and how I approached it.

Because the goal is not just to get someone through the door. It is to help the right people make a decision they will actually follow through on.

What’s the difference between someone getting a result and someone not getting one? Honestly, most of the time it’s not that one person knows more.

It’s that one person actually manages to do the basics, week after week.

That’s really what we do at Hounds of Health.

We work with busy people. People with jobs, kids, stress, deadlines, too much going on and probably not enough headspace to spend hours thinking about their training and nutrition.

Most people already know they should train, eat better, sleep more, move more. That’s not really the problem! The problem is actually doing it when life is busy.

So our job is to make that easier.

Give you a structure. Tell you what to do. Help you adjust when life gets in the way. Keep you accountable. Make sure you don’t disappear for three weeks because work got manic.

You still have to do the work, obviously. Sorry, ha!

But a good system makes doing the work much easier.

And in my experience, that’s usually the difference between knowing what to do and actually getting a result.

Push the door. That’s the hard bit done. Some days you come in ready to go heavy. Some days you’ve been up since four with a toddler.. yes been there.
Both days we’ve got you. Small groups, a coach who knows your name and your knees, and a session that fits the person that walked through the door.

Antonis chats to Ilia about his experience of one of our Sweat Sessions.

Go at your own pace. Push yourself. Train alongside a great group of people.

Challenging, fun and a great way to get a proper workout in.

Even personal trainers struggle to get abs.Unless you’re 22, sleeping 9 hours a night and have basically no responsibilities, getting genuinely lean is hard after 40.

Most trainers aren’t trainers because it came naturally. Often it’s the opposite. We’ve had to struggle with it, make mistakes, and work out how to get results without making life completely miserable.

I made a quick video about some of my own frustrations with it.
